Description

SYSTEME ET PROCEDE DE GESTION SUR UN TERMINAL DE L'ARCHITECTURE DEDIEE A UN RESEAU DE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MANAGING AN ARCHITECTURE TERMINAL DEDICATED TO A COMMUNICATION NETWORK
La présente invention concerne un système et un procédé de gestion sur un terminal d'une architecture dédiée à un réseau de communication.The present invention relates to a system and a method for managing an architecture dedicated to a communication network on a terminal.
L'invention s'applique plus particulièrement à la gestion simultanée d'accès à plusieurs réseaux de communication offrant un ensemble de services, à partir d'un terminal relié à un réseau mobile public auquel l'utilisateur est abonné.The invention applies more particularly to the simultaneous management of access to several communication networks offering a set of services, from a terminal connected to a public mobile network to which the user is subscribed.
Actuellement, ces services sont accessibles à partir d'un terminal raccordé aux réseaux de télécommunications mobiles, tel que le système GPRS (General Packet Radio Service, soit service général de radiocommunication en mode paquet) ou le système UMTS (Universal Mobile Télécommunications System, soit système universel de télécommunications avec les mobiles).Currently, these services are accessible from a terminal connected to mobile telecommunications networks, such as the GPRS system (General Packet Radio Service, or general radiocommunication service in packet mode) or the UMTS system (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System, or universal system of telecommunications with mobiles).
Dans ces dits réseaux mobiles, pour sélectionner un réseau de communication offrant des services, il faut sélectionner un nom identifiant ledit réseau de communication. Pour établir une connexion entre un terminal et un réseau de communication déterminé, ledit nom identifiant est transmis à travers un équipement de support de service du réseau mobile vers un équipement de gestion d'accès aux dits réseaux de communication. Ledit nom identifiant, en provenance du terminal, permet audit équipement de support de service du réseau mobile de déterminer l'équipement de gestion d'accès offrant l'accès au réseau de communication et associé audit nom identifiant.In these so-called mobile networks, to select a communication network offering services, it is necessary to select a name identifying said communication network. To establish a connection between a terminal and a determined communication network, said identifying name is transmitted through service support equipment of the mobile network to equipment for managing access to said communication networks. Said identifying name, coming from the terminal, allows said mobile network service support equipment to determine the access management equipment offering access to the communication network and associated with said identifying name.
Dans les réseaux actuels de type GPRS ainsi que UMTS, le nom identifiant un réseau de communication est appelé un APN (Access Point Name, soit nom de point d'accès). Dans ces mêmes systèmes, l'équipement de support de service est appelé un SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node, soit nœud de support de service GPRS) et l'équipement de gestion d'accès aux différents réseaux de communication est appelé GGSN (Gateway GPRS Service Node, soit nœud de service GPRS de transit).In current GPRS and UMTS networks, the name identifying a communication network is called an APN (Access Point Name). In these same systems, the service support equipment is called an SGSN (Serving GPRS Support Node), and the equipment for managing access to the various communication networks is called GGSN (Gateway GPRS Service Node, i.e. transit GPRS service node).
Un nom identifiant APN comprend principalement un identifiant correspondant au réseau de communication sélectionné, un identifiant de l'opérateur qui gère ledit réseau de communication et un identifiant de la technologie du réseau mobile, par exemple GPRS. Le format, ainsi que l'usage, d'un nom identifiant APN sont normalisés par l'ETSI (European Télécommunications Standards Institute, soit Institut européen de normalisation des télécommunications). Entre autre fonction, un équipement de support de service SGSN reçoit d'un terminal un nom identifiant APN et le transmet pour reconnaissance au serveur de nom identifiant APN auquel il est raccordé. Ledit serveur de nom identifiant APN répond à l'équipement de support de service SGSN en transmettant la liste des équipements de gestion d'accès GGSN associés au nom identifiant APN. Entre autre fonction, ledit équipement de support de service SGSN établit une connexion vers un équipement de gestion d'accès GGSN appartenant à ladite liste. Ledit équipement de gestion d'accès GGSN établit la connexion vers un réseau de communication correspondant au nom identifiant APN. Ces équipements SGSN et GGSN sont également normalisés par l'ETSI.A name identifying the APN mainly comprises an identifier corresponding to the selected communication network, an identifier of the operator who manages said communication network and an identifier of the mobile network technology, for example GPRS. The format, as well as the use, of a name identifying APN are standardized by the ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute, that is to say European institute of standardization of telecommunications). Among other functions, a service support device SGSN receives from a terminal a name identifying APN and transmits it for recognition to the server of name identifying APN to which it is connected. Said name server identifying APN responds to the service support equipment SGSN by transmitting the list of access management equipment GGSN associated with the name identifying APN. Among other functions, said service support equipment SGSN establishes a connection to an access management equipment GGSN belonging to said list. Said GGSN access management equipment establishes the connection to a communication network corresponding to the name identifying the APN. This SGSN and GGSN equipment is also standardized by ETSI.
Pour accéder à un réseau de communication offrant un ensemble de services, l'utilisateur sélectionne un nom identifiant APN sur le terminal, de manière à établir la connexion avec le réseau de communication correspondant. Une fois un nom identifiant APN sélectionné sur le terminal, un protocole d'accès démarre. En GPRS ou en UMTS, ce protocole est appelé "PDP" (Packet Data Protocol, soit protocole de données en mode paquet). Une procédure d'établissement de la connexion du terminal vers l'équipement de gestion d'accès dit GGSN est mise en oeuvre. Pour permettre l'établissement de la connexion, un lien est créé à travers le réseau mobile vers le réseau de communication sélectionné. En GPRS ou en UMTS, ce lien est appelé "PDP Context". Ce lien permet l'accès du terminal à l'ensemble des services dudit réseau de communication.To access a communication network offering a set of services, the user selects a name identifying the APN on the terminal, so as to establish the connection with the corresponding communication network. Once an APN name has been selected on the terminal, an access protocol starts. In GPRS or UMTS, this protocol is called "PDP" (Packet Data Protocol, or packet data protocol). A procedure for establishing the connection from the terminal to the so-called GGSN access management equipment is implemented. To allow the establishment of the connection, a link is created through the mobile network to the selected communication network. In GPRS or UMTS, this link is called "PDP Context". This link allows the terminal to access all of the services of said communication network.
A la fin de ladite procédure, le terminal reçoit une adresse en provenance du réseau de communication, avec lequel la connexion est établie. Cette adresse identifie ledit terminal au sein dudit réseau de communication. Elle est associée audit lien appelé "PDP Context", existant entre le terminal et ledit réseau de communication.At the end of said procedure, the terminal receives an address from the communication network, with which the connection is established. This address identifies said terminal within said communication network. It is associated with said link called "PDP Context", existing between the terminal and said communication network.
Actuellement, un terminal ne gère simultanément qu'une connexion vers un réseau de communication. Il ne reçoit simultanément qu'une seule adresse, associée à un lien appelé "PDP Context", en provenance d'un seul réseau de communication.Currently, a terminal simultaneously manages only one connection to a communication network. It only receives one address, associated with a link called "PDP Context", coming from a single communication network.
Dans cette configuration, toute l'architecture existante sur le terminal est dédiée au fonctionnement dudit terminal connecté audit réseau de communication.In this configuration, all of the architecture existing on the terminal is dedicated to the operation of said terminal connected to said communication network.
D'autre part, chaque réseau de communication est indépendant des autres réseaux de communication et possède son propre adressage. De ce fait, un réseau A de communication ne connaît pas ce qui est réalisé par un réseau B de communication. En particulier, le réseau A de communication ne sait pas avec quel terminal le réseau B de communication est connecté. De la même façon, ledit réseau A de communication ne sait pas quelle adresse est transmise par le réseau B de communication pour identifier ledit terminal connecté.On the other hand, each communication network is independent of the other communication networks and has its own addressing. Therefore, a communication network A does not know what is achieved by a communication network B. In particular, the communication network A does not know with which terminal the communication network B is connected. Likewise, said communication network A does not know which address is transmitted by the communication network B to identify said connected terminal.
La norme de l'ETSI prévoit que plusieurs connexions peuvent être établies simultanément vers différents réseaux de communication à partir d'un même terminal.The ETSI standard provides that several connections can be established simultaneously to different communication networks from the same terminal.
Dans ce cas, ledit terminal doit créer simultanément plusieurs liens appelés "PDP Context" pour établir une connexion vers plusieurs réseaux de communication. A chacun de ces liens, appelés "PDP Context", est associée une adresse en provenance de chacun desdits réseaux de communication pour identifier ledit terminal.In this case, said terminal must simultaneously create several links called "PDP Context" to establish a connection to several communication networks. Each of these links, called "PDP Context", is associated with an address from each of said communication networks to identify said terminal.
Lors de l'accès du terminal à deux réseaux de communication A et B, deux liens, appelés "PDP Context", sont alors gérés par ledit terminal, ainsi que les deux adresses reçues.When the terminal accesses two communication networks A and B, two links, called "PDP Context", are then managed by said terminal, as well as the two addresses received.
Par conséquent, les deux liens, permettant l'accès vers les deux réseaux de communication, sont en liaison par l'intermédiaire dudit terminal.Consequently, the two links, allowing access to the two communication networks, are linked via said terminal.
Dans cette configuration, les deux réseaux de communication ne sont plus indépendants, puisqu'une liaison physique est établie entre eux par ledit terminal.In this configuration, the two communication networks are no longer independent, since a physical link is established between them by said terminal.
Dès lors, des problèmes d'adressage, dans le cas d'adresses allouées identiques pour des réseaux différents, des problèmes de confidentialité, de sécurité et de piratage sont rencontrés concernant les informations transmises par les services des différents réseaux de communication. Ces problèmes sont particulièrement sensibles, par exemple lors de l'utilisation d'un service bancaire ou bien lors de l'accès par un réseau de communication à l'intranet interne d'une entreprise privée.Consequently, addressing problems, in the case of identical allocated addresses for different networks, confidentiality, security and hacking problems are encountered concerning the information transmitted by the services of the different communication networks. These problems are particularly sensitive, for example when using a service banking or when accessing the internal intranet of a private company via a communication network.
Aussi, le problème technique à résoudre par l'objet de la présente invention est de proposer un système et un procédé de gestion sur un terminal d'au moins une architecture dédiée à un réseau de communication, qui permettrait de remédier aux inconvénients des systèmes existants en réorganisant la structure d'un terminal de manière à éviter toute liaison entre les connexions vers plusieurs réseaux de communication.Also, the technical problem to be solved by the object of the present invention is to propose a system and a method for managing on a terminal at least one architecture dedicated to a communication network, which would make it possible to remedy the drawbacks of existing systems. by reorganizing the structure of a terminal so as to avoid any connection between connections to several communication networks.
La solution au problème technique posé consiste, selon la présente invention, en ce que, la connexion audit réseau de communication étant établie via un réseau mobile, ledit système comprend au moins un gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées, intégré audit terminal incluant au moins une interface utilisateur, apte à gérer au moins une architecture dédiée à un réseau de communication et apte à traiter simultanément le fonctionnement dudit terminal connecté avec plusieurs desdits réseaux de communication.The solution to the technical problem posed consists, according to the present invention, in that, the connection to said communication network being established via a mobile network, said system comprises at least one dedicated architecture manager, integrated into said terminal including at least one interface user, able to manage at least one architecture dedicated to a communication network and able to simultaneously process the operation of said terminal connected with several of said communication networks.
A l'établissement de la connexion vers un réseau de communication, le gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées dialogue avec ledit réseau de communication. Ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées désigne une architecture dédiée qui est consacré à la connexion audit réseau de communication.When establishing the connection to a communication network, the manager of dedicated architectures dialogues with said communication network. Said dedicated architecture manager designates a dedicated architecture which is dedicated to the connection to said communication network.
A l'établissement de chaque nouvelle connexion vers un nouveau réseau de communication, le gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées désigne une architecture différente, dédiée à la connexion audit nouveau réseau de communication. Dans un même terminal, les différentes architectures dédiées fonctionnent simultanément, chacune desdites architectures dédiées donnant accès à un réseau de communication différent.When each new connection to a new communication network is established, the dedicated architecture manager designates a different architecture, dedicated to connecting to said new communication network. In the same terminal, the different dedicated architectures operate simultaneously, each of said dedicated architectures giving access to a different communication network.
Selon l'invention, chacune desdites architectures dédiées à un réseau de communication comprend au moins une interface réseau, paramétrée par une adresse transmise par ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées et en provenance dudit réseau de communication pour identifier ledit terminal dans ledit réseau de communication.According to the invention, each of said architectures dedicated to a communication network comprises at least one network interface, configured by an address transmitted by said manager of dedicated architectures and coming from said communication network to identify said terminal in said communication network.
Chaque interface réseau est comprise dans une architecture dédiée différente. De ce fait, il n'existe plus de relation entre chacun des liens établis vers les différents réseaux de communication. Chaque réseau de communication communique avec une architecture dédiée dudit terminal par l'intermédiaire d'une interface réseau séparée. L'adresse transmise par chacun des réseaux de communication est reçue par ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées et paramétrée sur une interface réseau. Une interface réseau d'une architecture dédiée est sans rapport avec une autre interface réseau d'une autre architecture dédiée.Each network interface is included in a different dedicated architecture. As a result, there is no longer a relationship between each of the links established towards the different communication networks. Each communication network communicates with a dedicated architecture of said terminal via a separate network interface. The address transmitted by each of the communication networks is received by said dedicated architecture manager and configured on a network interface. A network interface of a dedicated architecture is unrelated to another network interface of another dedicated architecture.
Conformément à l'invention, chacune desdites architectures dédiées à un réseau de communication est indépendante des autres architectures dédiées dudit terminal. Malgré le fonctionnement simultané de plusieurs architectures dédiées sur un même terminal, aucune liaison n'est réalisée entre les différents réseaux de communication. La structure du terminal est prévue de manière à ce que lesdites architectures dédiées n'aient aucune relation entre elles. Leur fonctionnement est distinct et autonome. De ce fait, le fonctionnement dudit terminal peut être différent selon le réseau de communication avec lequel il est connecté, grâce aux différentes architectures dédiées. Par exemple, des fonctionnalités peuvent être prises en compte avec l'un des réseaux de communication et ne pas exister avec un autre réseau de communication. De plus, du fait de l'augmentation du nombre de services accessibles par des réseaux de communication, l'autonomie de chaque architecture dédiée permet notamment d'affecter des ressources spécifiques, par exemple des applications spécifiques ou bien un espace mémoire différent, ou bien des qualités de service différentes d'un réseau de communication à l'autre. Conformément à l'invention, ladite interface utilisateur du terminal donne accès à au moins une architecture dédiée à un réseau de communication.According to the invention, each of said architectures dedicated to a communication network is independent of the other dedicated architectures of said terminal. Despite the simultaneous operation of several dedicated architectures on the same terminal, no connection is made between the different communication networks. The structure of the terminal is provided so that said dedicated architectures have no relationship with each other. Their operation is distinct and autonomous. Therefore, the operation of said terminal can be different depending on the communication network with which it is connected, thanks to the different dedicated architectures. For example, functionalities can be taken into account with one of the communication networks and not exist with another communication network. In addition, due to the increase in the number of services accessible by communication networks, the autonomy of each dedicated architecture makes it possible in particular to allocate specific resources, for example specific applications or else a different memory space, or else different qualities of service from one communication network to another. According to the invention, said user interface of the terminal gives access to at least one architecture dedicated to a communication network.
L'interface utilisateur dudit terminal, par exemple un moyen d'affichage ou un moyen d'écoute sonore ou un moyen de transmission d'un signal vocal ou bien un moyen de lecture en braille, permet l'accès aux services correspondant à un réseau de communication. Compte tenu des différentes architectures dédiées à différents réseaux de communication, plusieurs services peuvent être utilisés simultanément sur ledit terminal.The user interface of said terminal, for example a display means or a sound listening means or a means of transmitting a voice signal or a means of reading in Braille, allows access to the services corresponding to a network. Communication. Given the different architectures dedicated to different communication networks, several services can be used simultaneously on said terminal.
L'invention a également pour objet un procédé de gestion sur un terminal d'au moins une architecture dédiée à un réseau de communication, ledit terminal incluant au moins une interface utilisateur, et la connexion audit réseau de communication étant établie via un réseau mobile, remarquable en ce que ledit procédé comporte les étapes consistant à : - établir une connexion dans au moins un gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées entre ledit terminal et au moins un réseau de communication par l'intermédiaire dudit réseau mobile ; - recevoir dans ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées dudit terminal au moins une adresse en provenance dudit réseau de communication connecté audit terminal ; - sélectionner dans ledit terminal une architecture dédiée audit réseau de communication par ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées ; - transmettre ladite adresse vers ladite architecture dédiée sélectionnée par ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées ; - paramétrer ladite adresse sur une interface réseau comprise dans ladite architecture dédiée audit réseau de communication ; - accéder à au moins une architecture dédiée par l'intermédiaire de ladite interface utilisateur dudit terminal ; - établir par ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées au moins une connexion simultanée vers plusieurs réseaux de communication ; - traiter la gestion simultanée de plusieurs réseaux de communication connectés audit terminal.The subject of the invention is also a method of managing on a terminal at least one architecture dedicated to a communication network, said terminal including at least one user interface, and the connection to said communication network being established via a mobile network, remarkable in that said method comprises the steps consisting in: - establishing a connection in at least one manager of dedicated architectures between said terminal and at least one communication network via said mobile network; - receive in said dedicated architecture manager of said terminal at least one address from said communication network connected to said terminal; - Select in said terminal an architecture dedicated to said communication network by said manager of dedicated architectures; - transmit said address to said dedicated architecture selected by said dedicated architecture manager; - configure said address on a network interface included in said architecture dedicated to said communication network; - access at least one dedicated architecture via said user interface of said terminal; - establish by said manager of dedicated architectures at least one simultaneous connection to several communication networks; - process the simultaneous management of several communication networks connected to said terminal.
Les différentes étapes du procédé conforme à l'invention se reproduisent à chaque connexion dudit terminal avec un nouveau réseau de communication.The different stages of the process according to the invention are repeated each time said terminal is connected to a new communication network.
Ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées gère chaque connexion vers un réseau de communication.Said dedicated architecture manager manages each connection to a communication network.
Il attribue une architecture dédiée à chacun desdits réseaux de communication, ce qui offre la possibilité de réaliser des gestions différentes et indépendantes, dans le même temps.It assigns a dedicated architecture to each of said communication networks, which offers the possibility of carrying out different and independent management, at the same time.
La description qui va suivre en regard du dessin annexé, donné à titre d'exemple non limitatif, fera bien comprendre en quoi consiste l'invention et comment elle peut être réalisée.The description which follows with reference to the appended drawing, given by way of nonlimiting example, will make it clear what the invention consists of and how it can be implemented.
La figure 1 est un schéma de l'architecture générale du système de gestion sur un terminal d'une architecture dédiée à un réseau de communication, conforme à l'invention.FIG. 1 is a diagram of the general architecture of the management system on a terminal of an architecture dedicated to a communication network, in accordance with the invention.
Pour faciliter la compréhension, l'invention est décrite avec les appellations utilisées dans la terminologie des systèmes UMTS. Toutefois, l'invention s'applique à tous les systèmes de communication utilisant des techniques identiques d'identification d'un réseau de communication. De même, pour simplifier la description, l'abonné au réseau de télécommunications mobiles est indiqué comme un terminal 10, mais il peut être de différentes natures, par exemple un serveur ou bien un terminal de communication mobile, un ordinateur personnel de type PC ou bien un poste de télévision, et par un équipement d'abonné 10 appelé UE (User Equipment) sur la figure 1.To facilitate understanding, the invention is described with the names used in the terminology of UMTS systems. However, the invention applies to all communication systems using identical techniques for identifying a communication network. Similarly, to simplify the description, the subscriber to the mobile telecommunications network is indicated as a terminal 10, but it can be of different types, for example a server or else a mobile communication terminal, a personal computer of PC type or indeed a television set, and by subscriber equipment 10 called UE (User Equipment) in FIG. 1.
Quel que soit le terminal 10 utilisé, celui-ci est relié à un réseau mobile public auquel l'utilisateur est abonné.Whatever terminal 10 is used, it is connected to a public mobile network to which the user is subscribed.
Lorsque le terminal 10 souhaite accéder à un premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication, il transmet, par l'intermédiaire d'une borne radio du réseau mobile, un nom APN identifiant ledit réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication, offrant un ensemble de services auxquels ledit terminal 10 souhaite accéder.When the terminal 10 wishes to access a first communication network 40, 41, 42, it transmits, via a radio terminal of the mobile network, an APN name identifying said communication network 40, 41, 42, offering a set of services to which said terminal 10 wishes to access.
Dans ledit réseau mobile, un équipement de gestion d'accès radio appelé "SGSN" reçoit ledit nom APN en provenance dudit terminal 10. Ledit équipement appelé "SGSN" recherche quel équipement de gestion d'accès, appelé "GGSN", gère ledit nom identifiant APN.In said mobile network, radio access management equipment called "SGSN" receives said APN name from said terminal 10. Said equipment called "SGSN" searches for which access management equipment, called "GGSN", manages said name APN identifier.
L'équipement appelé "SGSN" transmet le nom identifiant APN à un serveur de nom APN auquel il est raccordé, qui possède une table de correspondance entre les noms APN et les équipements de gestion d'accès appelés "GGSN". Ledit équipement appelé "SGSN" sélectionne un équipement 30 de gestion d'accès appelé "GGSN", qui gère ledit nom APN.The equipment called "SGSN" transmits the name identifying the APN to an APN name server to which it is connected, which has a correspondence table between the APN names and the access management equipment called "GGSN". Said equipment called "SGSN" selects an access management equipment called "GGSN", which manages said name APN.
Ledit équipement 30 appelé "GGSN" établit la connexion vers ledit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication. Un premier lien appelé "PDPSaid equipment 30 called "GGSN" establishes the connection to said first communication network 40, 41, 42. A first link called "PDP
Context" est établi à travers le réseau mobile vers ledit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication. Ce premier lien "PDP Context" permet l'accès du terminal 10 audit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication.Context "is established through the mobile network to said first communication network 40, 41, 42. This first" PDP Context "link allows the terminal 10 to access said first communication network 40, 41, 42.
En fonction du réseau mobile, pour des technologies de type GPRS ou bien de type UMTS, si un utilisateur accède à plusieurs services dans un même réseau de communication, plusieurs communications simultanées sont établies appelées "PDP Context secondaires" vers ledit réseau de communication.Depending on the mobile network, for GPRS or UMTS type technologies, if a user accesses several services in the same communication network, several simultaneous communications are established, called "secondary PDP Context" to said communication network.
Dans ce cas, les différentes communications appelées "PDP Context secondaires" sont rattachées à un même lien dit "PDP Context primaire", ledit "PDP Context primaire" ayant un fonctionnement identique à celui décrit précédemment pour un "PDP Context", appellation utilisée dans la description ci-dessous.In this case, the various communications called "secondary PDP Context" are linked to the same link called "primary PDP Context", said "primary PDP Context" having an operation identical to that described. previously for a "PDP Context", designation used in the description below.
Ledit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication transmet ensuite une adresse, dite "A1", vers le terminal 10, adresse qui identifie ledit terminal 10 pour ledit premier réseau de communication connecté.Said first communication network 40, 41, 42 then transmits an address, called "A1", to the terminal 10, an address which identifies said terminal 10 for said first connected communication network.
Dans ledit terminal 10, le gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées 24 reçoit ladite adresse A1. Ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées 24 affecte une première architecture dédiée 15 audit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication connecté et transmet l'adresse A1 à une première interface réseau 20 incluse dans ladite première architecture dédiée 15 audit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication connecté.In said terminal 10, the manager of dedicated architectures 24 receives said address A1. Said dedicated architecture manager 24 assigns a first dedicated architecture 15 to said first communication network 40, 41, 42 and transmits the address A1 to a first network interface 20 included in said first dedicated architecture 15 to said first network 40, 41, 42 connected communication.
Ladite première architecture dédiée 15 est associée audit premier lien appelé "PDP Context", qui permet l'accès dudit terminal 10 audit premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication. Quand ledit terminal 10 souhaite accéder à un deuxième réseau de communication 50, 51 , 52, il transmet un deuxième nom APN et le même processus de connexion est répété à travers les équipements mentionnés ci- dessus, appelés SGSN et GGSN soit 30'.Said first dedicated architecture 15 is associated with said first link called "PDP Context", which allows access from said terminal 10 to said first communication network 40, 41, 42. When said terminal 10 wishes to access a second communication network 50, 51, 52, it transmits a second APN name and the same connection process is repeated through the equipment mentioned above, called SGSN and GGSN, ie 30 '.
Une nouvelle connexion est établie entre ledit terminal 10 et un deuxième réseau 50, 51 , 52 de communication. Par conséquent, un deuxième lien appelé "PDP Context" est établi à travers ledit réseau mobile vers ledit deuxième réseau 50, 51 , 52 de communication.A new connection is established between said terminal 10 and a second communication network 50, 51, 52. Consequently, a second link called "PDP Context" is established through said mobile network to said second communication network 50, 51, 52.
Une nouvelle adresse, dite "A2", est transmise vers le terminal 10, qui identifie ledit terminal 10 pour ledit deuxième réseau 50, 51 , 52 de communication.A new address, called "A2", is transmitted to the terminal 10, which identifies said terminal 10 for said second communication network 50, 51, 52.
Dans ledit terminal 10, ledit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées 24 reçoit la nouvelle adresse A2. Il affecte une deuxième architecture dédiée 16 audit deuxième réseau 50, 51, 52 de communication connecté et transmet l'adresse A2 à une deuxième interface réseau 21 incluse dans ladite deuxième architecture dédiée 16 audit deuxième réseau de communication connecté.In said terminal 10, said dedicated architecture manager 24 receives the new address A2. It assigns a second dedicated architecture 16 to said second connected communication network 50, 51, 52 and transmits address A2 to a second network interface 21 included in said second dedicated architecture 16 to said second connected communication network.
Dès lors, ladite deuxième architecture dédiée 16 est associée audit deuxième lien appelé "PDP Context", qui permet l'accès dudit terminal 10 audit deuxième réseau 50, 51 , 52 de communication. De cette façon, dans ledit terminal 10, une architecture indépendante 15, 16, 17, 18 est dédiée à chaque réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 auquel ledit terminal 10 est connecté. Chaque adresse reçue d'un réseau de communication différent est donc paramétrée sur une interface réseau différente 20, 21 , 22, 23 dans une architecture dédiée 15, 16, 17, 18 à un réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52.Therefore, said second dedicated architecture 16 is associated with said second link called "PDP Context", which allows access from said terminal 10 to said second communication network 50, 51, 52. In this way, in said terminal 10, an independent architecture 15, 16, 17, 18 is dedicated to each communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 to which said terminal 10 is connected. Each address received from a different communication network is therefore configured on a different network interface 20, 21, 22, 23 in a dedicated architecture 15, 16, 17, 18 to a communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51 , 52.
De la même manière, chaque interface réseau 20, 21 , 22, 23 est identifiée par une et une seule adresse pour garantir le bon destinataire lors de la transmission des données entre un réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 et ledit terminal 10.Similarly, each network interface 20, 21, 22, 23 is identified by one and only one address to guarantee the correct recipient during the transmission of data between a communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 and said terminal 10.
Selon les technologies des réseaux de communication et en conformité avec la norme, l'adresse transmise peut être de différents formats, par exemple une adresse IP (Internet Protocol, soit protocole internet) en version 4 ou bien en version 6. Ces formats et différentes versions sont standardisés par l'organisation de normalisation appelée IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force, soit groupe d'étude sur l'ingénierie internet).According to the technologies of the communication networks and in accordance with the standard, the address transmitted can be of different formats, for example an IP address (Internet Protocol, or internet protocol) in version 4 or else in version 6. These formats and different versions are standardized by the standardization organization called IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force, or study group on internet engineering).
Quelque soit le format, la version ou bien le type d'adressage, par exemple de type PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol, soit protocole point à point) ou tout autre type d'adressage à venir, la transmission de l'adresse entre un réseau de communication et ledit terminal 10 reste inchangée. Du fait de l'architecture dudit terminal 10, son adaptation aux différentes générations est facilitée.Whatever the format, the version or the type of addressing, for example PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or any other type of addressing to come, the transmission of the address between a communication network and said terminal 10 remains unchanged. Due to the architecture of said terminal 10, its adaptation to different generations is facilitated.
Avec cette structure, pour un terminal 10, chaque architecture dédiée, avec son interface réseau, est indépendante de chacune des architectures dédiées 15, 16, 17, 18 dudit terminal 10.With this structure, for a terminal 10, each dedicated architecture, with its network interface, is independent of each of the dedicated architectures 15, 16, 17, 18 of said terminal 10.
Chaque architecture dédiée 15, 16, 17, 18 à un réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51, 52 reçoit toutes les informations en provenance dudit réseau 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 de communication associée à ladite architecture dédiée 15, 16, 17, 18, par l'intermédiaire du "PDP Context" correspondant audit réseau 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 de communication.Each dedicated architecture 15, 16, 17, 18 for a communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 receives all of the information coming from said communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 associated with said communication network. dedicated architecture 15, 16, 17, 18, via the "PDP Context" corresponding to said communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52.
Une fois la connexion établie, l'architecture dédiée accède à l'interface utilisateur 11 dudit terminal 10. De cette façon, l'abonné accède à au moins un contenu de service d'un premier réseau 40, 41 , 42 de communication, par exemple une page d'accueil 12. Lorsque l'abonné sélectionne sur ledit terminal 10 l'accès à un deuxième réseau 50, 51 , 52 de communication, le contenu correspondant à un nouveau service 13 dudit deuxième réseau 50, 51 , 52 de communication est accessible par l'intermédiaire de ladite interface utilisateur 11 , par exemple une nouvelle page d'accueil 13.Once the connection has been established, the dedicated architecture accesses the user interface 11 of said terminal 10. In this way, the subscriber accesses at least one service content from a first communication network 40, 41, 42, by example home page 12. When the subscriber selects on said terminal 10 access to a second communication network 50, 51, 52, the content corresponding to a new service 13 of said second communication network 50, 51, 52 is accessible via said user interface 11, for example a new home page 13.
Selon les possibilités du système d'exploitation en place dans ledit terminal 10, plusieurs fenêtres peuvent être affichées proposant différentes pages d'accueil 12, 13, 14 des différents réseaux de communication ou bien l'abonné peut basculer d'une page d'accueil à l'autre au moyen d'un dispositif de sélection, tel qu'un bouton ou une commande tactile sur ledit terminal 10.Depending on the possibilities of the operating system in place in said terminal 10, several windows can be displayed offering different home pages 12, 13, 14 of the different communication networks or the subscriber can switch from a home page to the other by means of a selection device, such as a button or a touch control on said terminal 10.
Dans le cas où l'affichage du contenu sur ledit terminal 10 ne serait pas requis par le réseau de communication, la représentation du contenu dudit réseau de communication peut être réalisée par tout autre moyen de l'interface utilisateur 1 1 dudit terminal 10, tel qu'un message vocal transmis par un moyen d'écoute sonore.In the case where the display of the content on said terminal 10 is not required by the communication network, the representation of the content of said communication network can be carried out by any other means of the user interface 11 of said terminal 10, such as than a voice message transmitted by a means of audible listening.
Chaque architecture dédiée 15, 16, 17, 18 commande l'accès aux moyens existants sur ledit terminal 10 permettant l'usage des services d'un réseau de communication, par exemple un visionneur de film ou d'images, un navigateur pour lire des pages internet, etc .. Le système et le procédé, conformes à l'invention, permettent la gestion distincte et autonome de plusieurs connexions à un réseau de communication dans un même terminal 10, par l'intermédiaire dudit gestionnaire d'architectures dédiées 24.Each dedicated architecture 15, 16, 17, 18 controls access to the means existing on said terminal 10 allowing the use of the services of a communication network, for example a film or image viewer, a browser for reading internet pages, etc. The system and the method, in accordance with the invention, allow the separate and autonomous management of several connections to a communication network in the same terminal 10, via said manager of dedicated architectures 24.
Un lien dit "PDP Context" est associé à un réseau de communication et un seul. Ledit réseau de communication transmet une adresse, et une seule, vers une seule interface réseau pour identifier ledit terminal 10.A link called "PDP Context" is associated with a communication network and only one. Said communication network transmits an address, and only one, to a single network interface to identify said terminal 10.
De cette manière, chaque interface réseau est associée à une, et une seule, adresse en provenance d'un réseau de communication. Et dans un réseau de communication, une adresse donnée est transmise vers une, et une seule, interface réseau.In this way, each network interface is associated with one and only one address from a communication network. And in a communication network, a given address is transmitted to one and only one network interface.
Ce principe d'unicité de l'adressage entre un réseau et une interface réseau permet la transmission sans erreur des données vers le bon destinataire, dudit terminal 10 vers un réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 et vice versa. L'autonomie et le fonctionnement indépendant des différentes architectures dédiées 15, 16, 17, 18 dudit terminal 10 garantissent le respect de la gestion du principe d'unicité de l'adressage, lors de l'accès à plusieurs réseaux de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52. Rappelons que chaque réseau de communication est indépendant et possède son propre adressage. Par conséquent, deux réseaux de communication peuvent transmettre la même adresse audit terminal 10.This principle of unique addressing between a network and a network interface allows error-free transmission of data to the correct recipient, from said terminal 10 to a communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 and vice versa . The autonomy and independent operation of the various dedicated architectures 15, 16, 17, 18 of said terminal 10 guarantee compliance with the management of the principle of uniqueness of addressing, when accessing several communication networks 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51, 52. Remember that each communication network is independent and has its own addressing. Consequently, two communication networks can transmit the same address to said terminal 10.
Aucune violation du principe d'unicité d'adressage ne se produit avec ledit terminal 10 dont l'architecture est conforme à l'invention. En effet, deux interfaces réseau indépendantes reçoivent ces deux adresses identiques et sont reliées à deux réseaux de communication différents, qui restent indépendants. Chaque architecture est autonome et dédiée à un réseau de communication différent.No violation of the uniqueness of addressing principle occurs with said terminal 10, the architecture of which is in accordance with the invention. Indeed, two independent network interfaces receive these two identical addresses and are connected to two different communication networks, which remain independent. Each architecture is autonomous and dedicated to a different communication network.
Dans ce cas, le même adressage peut être utilisé par plusieurs réseaux de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52. L'unicité d'adressage est préservée dans ledit terminal 10. C'est une façon de résoudre le problème du manque d'adresses disponibles, par exemple sur les réseaux IP (Internet Protocol, soit protocole internet).In this case, the same addressing can be used by several communication networks 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52. The uniqueness of addressing is preserved in said terminal 10. This is one way of solving the problem of lack of available addresses, for example on IP (Internet Protocol) networks.
Même lorsque l'adressage n'est pas identique pour deux réseaux de communication différents, la gestion indépendante des architectures dédiées 15, 16, 17, 18 assure la confidentialité et la sécurité entre lesdits réseaux de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52. Ces besoins de confidentialité et de sécurité se font, par exemple, sentir lors d'une transaction bancaire ou bien lors du raccordement à un réseau privé d'entreprise. Chacun des liens dit "PDP Context" est géré par une architecture dédiée différente, sans rapport avec les autres architectures dédiées 15, 16, 17, 18 à un réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52.Even when the addressing is not identical for two different communication networks, the independent management of the dedicated architectures 15, 16, 17, 18 ensures confidentiality and security between said communication networks 40, 41, 42, 50, 51 , 52. These confidentiality and security needs arise, for example, during a bank transaction or when connecting to a private corporate network. Each of the so-called "PDP Context" links is managed by a different dedicated architecture, unrelated to the other dedicated architectures 15, 16, 17, 18 to a communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52.
Du fait de la gestion séparée des réseaux de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 par les différentes architectures dédiées 15, 16, 17, 18, cette structure assure une étanchéité entre les différents services connectés audit terminal 10 et empêche le piratage des informations transmises par un service d'un premier réseau de communication à partir d'un deuxième réseau de communication, par exemple relié à Internet.Due to the separate management of the communication networks 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 by the different dedicated architectures 15, 16, 17, 18, this structure provides a seal between the different services connected to said terminal 10 and prevents the hacking of information transmitted by a service of a first communication network from a second communication network, for example connected to the Internet.
De plus, pour un même terminal, le traitement indépendant de chaque réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52 par une architecture dédiée différente 15, 16, 17, 18 permet une meilleure adaptation à chaque réseau de communication.In addition, for the same terminal, the independent processing of each communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52 by a dedicated architecture different 15, 16, 17, 18 allows better adaptation to each communication network.
Différentes qualités de services pourront être gérées simultanément sur un même terminal 10. Par exemple, un premier réseau aura une bonne qualité de transmission, un deuxième réseau moins bonne. Un troisième réseau aura un taux d'erreurs important.Different qualities of service can be managed simultaneously on the same terminal 10. For example, a first network will have good transmission quality, a second network less good. A third network will have a high error rate.
Sur un même terminal 10, toutes les fonctionnalités et évolutions des réseaux de communication pourront également être gérées indépendamment par chaque architecture dédiée 15, 16, 17, 18 à un réseau de communication 40, 41 , 42, 50, 51 , 52. On the same terminal 10, all the functionalities and developments of the communication networks can also be managed independently by each dedicated architecture 15, 16, 17, 18 to a communication network 40, 41, 42, 50, 51, 52.
